hi Jasmine,

write the lookup method in Table Methods in which you are using as a data source for that form

i think this may help you

client static void lookupDeliveryAccount(FormStringControl ctrl,

CustInvoiceAccount invoiceAccount)

{

Args args;

Object formRun;

;

args = new Args();

args.name(formstr(SalesDeliveryAccountLookup));

formRun = classfactory.formRunClass(args);

formRun.invoiceAccount(invoiceAccount);

formRun.init();

ctrl.performFormLookup(formRun);

}

Hi,

Have you read about lookup method in Developers guide? There are lots of useful info there.

Hi Jasmine,

If you want to create a lookup form and if you want to get this form lookup for a field then you make that field as EDT and in the properties window set the FormHelp property to the form you created this is one way…

or

you can create a lookup at run time for that field in the form datasource override the lookup method

for that field and use the systablelookup class

systablelookup stl = systablelookup::newparameters(tablenum());

stl.addlookupfield(fieldnum(tablename,fieldname));

stl.performlookup();

Hi Jasmine,

see this

we can write lookup method in datasource level–> field -->override lookup() Method
